actually there is no epplet api to change backgrounds - (well not in the epplet
library). the slides epplet uses E IPC to talk to e and set up a new background
for the desktop - this is exactly the same ips eesh gives you as a raw
command-line. it's there! :) it's all in eesh ipc :) as KainX said - look at
e-slides. all it does is programmatically send the same ipc you can type in eesh
:)
remember all the epplet api does is use e-ipc (what eesh gives you as a
cmd-line/interactive shell) to do its dirty work :)
